All of the 118 isolates of P. griseola yielded 500–560 bp sirelozan_18@hotmail.com PCR products from ITS1 and ITS4 primers, while 45 isolates yielded 200–250 bp products from actin genes primer and 5 isolates yielded 300–350 bp from calmodulin primer. The form of the Turkish isolates of P. griseola was determined as f. griseola since ITS sequences of 118 isolates of P. griseola showed between 98–100% similarity to the isolates of P. griseola f. griseola deposited in GenBank and our isolates took place on the same branch on the phylogenetic tree formed by the representative isolates in GenBank. The actin sequences did not give a clear differentiation for the forms of P. griseola. The phylogenetic trees gener- ated by ITS1, ITS2 and actin genes formed similar branches. Each had two main clade and similar sub clades.

Sirel Canpolat and Salih Maden: Characterization of Turkish isolates of Pseudocercospora griseola the causal agent… 97 Determination of the form of Pseudocercospora griseola and phylogenetic analysis of the isolates PCR products were separated in 1.5% agarose gels, stained with ethidium bromide and visualized under UV light. Sequence analysis of the products was done. For determination of the forms, nucleotide sequences were blasted to NCBI BLAST search, and the form of the isolates was identified according to the homology with sequences already present in GenBank. The nucleotide sequences of the bean isolates were stored in Gen -Bank with accession numbers MK483911-MK483944, MK483661-MK483699, MT445197-MT445217. Ma ximum parsimony (MP) analysis was used in phylo- genetic analysis of DNA sequences to specify genetic differences among isolates. For phylogenetic analyses, sequence information was transferred to MEGA 6.0 program and genetic similarity between isolates was evaluated by creating a dendrogram (Tamura et al. 2013). A phylogenetic tree was also constructed by using 21 isolates of ours and some isolates of f. gri- seola and f. mesoamericana deposited in GenBank. Phylogenetic trees were also constructed by using both 73 isolates selected from 118 ITS gene sequences. Results Fig. 1.
